[Verse 1] Screen glow on my face at midnight Hate scroll Jealous eyes Cheap thrill Every headline feels like a fistfight Every comment cuts a little too real I keep feeding this thing my secrets It keeps feeding right back on me All these pictures of perfect people Make my own scars harder to see [Chorus] I’m running from the beast in the wires Teeth made of rumors and doubt and desire Clawing at the doorway of my mind But you pull me back You pull me back You’re the hand through the smoke and the fire Only truth in this kingdom of liars If the world burns out I don’t mind ‘Cause you’re my world You’re my world [Verse 2] Some days I can’t leave the bedroom Shame sits heavy on my chest Every heartbeat sounds like an old wound Every sunrise feels like a test I hear all the ghosts of my failures Laughing loud in the quiet night But your footsteps cross that cold floor And the dark steps out of the light (oh) [Chorus] I’m running from the beast in the wires Teeth made of rumors and doubt and desire Clawing at the doorway of my mind But you pull me back You pull me back You’re the hand through the smoke and the fire Only truth in this kingdom of liars If the world burns out I don’t mind ‘Cause you’re my world You’re my world [Bridge] You say my name like it’s not broken Kiss my eyes My shaking hands Take my phone Turn off the poison Lay my head on solid ground again You remind me I’m more than my history More than pictures More than shame If I lose myself in that endless mirror You call me back by my real name (yeah) [Chorus] I’m running from the beast in the wires Teeth made of rumors and doubt and desire Clawing at the doorway of my mind But you pull me back You pull me back You’re the hand through the smoke and the fire Only truth in this kingdom of liars If the world burns out I don’t mind ‘Cause you’re my world You’re my world You’re my world You’re my world
